How were your twins conceived? ( natural, clomid,herbs....)

[Mrs.Ping]

hi ladies was just wondering how your twins were conceived? were you on clomid were you taking herbs . were you on injections ? what was your protocol ? I am starting clomid in may and we are Ltttc-ers. at 33 yrs old the dr probably wont waste 2 much time on clomid plus dh has low cout.so i am sure fertility treatments will be a bit more rigorous . just wondering what we're getting into

Mine were 50mg clomid first try with IUI. We were unexplained infertility. Husband has great sperm.

Good luck!

I took 50mg of clomid with ovidrel and IUI (first round of meds - 2nd IUI). I had low progesterone/didn't ovulate sometimes and DH had low sperm count (12-20 million).

50 mg clomid, Ovidrel and IUI. First medicated IUI and no fertility issues on my end. Had a few unmedicated IUI's prior.

Many people take clomid and only end up with one baby so if you are worried about twins just try to remember that.

I was on Letrozole, but did already ovulate on my own. The doctor said there was a very low chance of multiples and not to worry about it. It's possible mine are identical though (and they did only see on clear CL).

Thanks ladies we will most likely go the iui route insurance docent cover fertility and ivf is a bit of a chunk of change for us. Dh only has 1 million sperm per mil so iui might not even work. I suspect that I have pcos my cycles are 60+ days long ob didn't investigate further since we already have DD. But offered clomid so we could get in more then 4 chances per year!! I use vitex to regulate my cycles so we could get pregnant with dd but only 4 pp periods and they are back to being long again.
I know what it feels like to see 1 hb on the monitor but for u ladies to have seen 2 must have been an unimaginable feeling congrats on your wonderful gifts and I hope to be bless with another real soon!

Naturally at age 29! My Mum is a fraternal twin but didn't think I would have twins - well not until the 9 week scan I booked privately because I was so ill!x

 

[Jenn76]

We did IVF because of low sperm count (13 million). We could have tried IUI but my RE felt it would take several tries to give us the same chance as IVF. I'm 36 and didn't want to risk wasted time so we saved up and went for the higher success rate. Tough decision, good luck!

natural...... after being on Clomid to get preggie with LO almost 2 years ago due to PCOS...hubby said the clomid must be in my system still...I cant tell you how hard I laughed at that!! men are soo cluelsss lol..

 

[lolomom]

I took clomid to conceive my second son, due to short luteal phase, even though I do ovulate regularly. He was obviously a singleton pregnancy. I did not use clomid for this pregnancy at all, and wound up with twins. So I guess the moral of that story is, there is no guarantee on anything!

Good luck

Natural fraternal twins at age 28. Definitely a shock!

Naturally conceived at 18 mo/di identical twins.

 

[sweetieinva]

Ours were conceived on month 2 of Clomid 50mg. I basically took it because of my PCOS and not quite sure if/when I was ovulating.

You may want to ask about Letrozole instead of Clomid because it's off label use for fertility and is a breast cancer drug, so it's very likely your insurance will cover it, but not Clomid. I had no problem with insurance covering Letrozole (don't have any idea how much Clomid is).
